WIN DOW-SAS H ATTACHMENT.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Feb. 14, 1922.

Application filed October 19, 1920. Serial No 117,959.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that 1, WILLIAM E. Pnrnns, a citizen of the United States, residing at Carbondale, in the county of Lackawanna and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Window- Sash Attachments, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawings.

This invention relates to a Window sash attachment, more particularly for a revolving sash, and the object of my invention is to provide a simple and efii'cient device whereby a sash of any ordinary window structure may be converted into a rotatable or reversible sash.

With these and other objects in view, my invention comprises certain novel combinations, constructions and arrangements of parts as will be hereinafter described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings, and more particularly pointed out in the appended claims.

In the drawings:

Figure 1 is a perspective view of a window frame showing a sash, provided with my device, in an open position.

Figure 2 is a fragmentary, perspective sash, in an open or tilted position, to which is applied my improved device.

Figure 3 is a of the device, of the sash.

Referring to the drawings by numerals, 1 designates a window frame in which are positioned the upper sash 2 and the lower sash 3.

My device comprises a plate 4 having an axle 5 extending outwardly from the center thereof, and on the outer end of the axle is a reduced extension 6, in which extension 6 is an aperture 7. The plate is provided with longitudinally-extending groove 8, transversely-extending groove 9, with inclined grooves 10. V

A running casing 11 is employed, and into this casing extends the axle 5, so that the casing moves with the plate 4. The runner casing is provided with an open slot 12; on the casing, contiguous to the slot are inwardly-bent edges 13. In the back of the casing 11 is an outwardly-extending bead perspective view of the plate shown attached to a portion runner casing on said axle and said 14, which bead l4: fits into any one of the grooves 8, 9 and 10 for retaining the sash, to which plate 4 is attached, in an adjusted position.

On the extension 7 isplaced a bowed pin 16, extending through opposite sides of the casing 11, and

in the plate is an aperture 19, through which the sash cord 20 extends, and by means of knotting the cord at 21, the cord and fastening plate 17 are secured together, so that the casing and sash and cord move simultaneously upon the window frame 1. The inwardly-bent edges 13 of the slotted portion of the casing 11, act as guides to keep the elongated, bowed spring 15 from'turning too much in the casing 11.

It is to be understood that my device can be applied to either the upper or lower sash, or to both sashes at the will of the operator.

While I have described the preferred embodiment of my invention, and have illustrated the same in the accompanying drawings, certain minor changes or alterations may appear to one skilled in the art to which this invention relates, during the extensive manufacture of the same and I, therefore, reserve the right to or changes as shall scope of the appended claims.

What I claim is:

1. In a device of the class described, the combination of a plate provided with a groove, said plate provided with an axle, a runner casing ing bead on its back or rear portion and said head adapted to extend into the groove of the plate, said casing provided with a slotted front and portions of the front extending inwardly constituting flanged edges, a bowed spring between said inwardly-extending edges and mounted on said axle, means faslugs 18 extending make such alterations fairly fall within the provided with an outwardly-extend tening said spring on said axle, and cord attaching means carried by said runner casing. i

2. In a device of the class described, the combination with a plate, of a casing engaging said late means on said plate and casing for he ding the plate in adjusted positions with respect to said casing, a horizontal fastening plate in said casing, said fastening plate provided at its ends with 10 In testimony whereof I hereunto affix my signature WILLIAM EDYVARD PETERS.
